According to "1984," Proles are the lowest social class in society and they have less power than either the Outer or Inner Parties. They do all the manual labor, live in the worst conditions and receive almost no education. They're kept distracted by booze and entertainment in unlimited supply. They're pretty clueless as to how government works and are not involved in it.
Then the best choice is to drop the ads. I don’t appreciate that many people see schools as places for profits. That makes the children the products and their grades/acheivements/success motivation to fund or defund the facility. But children’s ability in school can’t be quantified and should never be monetized. Back to fucking capitalism. The system already does this, or did with the NCLB act when I was studying to teach. The standardized tests that determine which schools are succeeding and which don’t deserve funding destroyed a lot of education. The tests themselves had too many flaws, but add on the failure schools were in economically depressed (intentionally so) areas, children dealing with domestic disturbances, gang violence, lack of basic human resources, and chronic underfunding and mismanagement of the physical building all led to the easily guessed closures.
Making schools rely on ad revenue for extras can easily lead to requiring ad revenue for basics, then for existence.
Keep up the good work Chaz, I love to hear about your efforts. I help when I’m able.
Don't know how things work in Florida, but I can tell you that though Arizona's education budget is sizable, the schools never see the money out here. The state legislature has made so many inroads into it it's pretty much little more than a sieve at this point, despite the lottery adding even more money to it.
I agree that the issue shouldn't be funding, but my experiences with government school funding have shown me that isn't how it usually works out.
Maybe if they got rid of all those expensive managers and principals, they could actually run a school system like it should be. Nationwide would be even better. Just a thought...
Chaz, Thank you for what your indefatigable efforts to advance equality under the law. I admire your dedication and creativity. I live in a state that, so far, mostly doesn’t allow the kind of nonsense you are fighting against. I hope emulate you should the opportunity arise.
Sounds like a good opportunity for a business elective or student club to me. Put students in charge of managing the advertising business and finding good nonessential things to spend the money on, with a teacher sponsor. Dual benefit.
Managing money and credit should be a required high school course. Otherwise you get college students applying for credit cards for the free Slinky. (Yes, I did that. I'm still not sure I know how to manage money. I've got nearly 12k of CC debt. I was doing great until I bought a house and began upgrading)
Here in Broward, that is an offered class in senior year. How to open a checking account, an undertanding of a 401 and credit cards. Practical useful info.
This mess is the fault of the elected officials who allowed a church to put up a banner on school property in the first place. Conservative Christians NEVER stop trying to insert their religion into the public schools paid for with everyone's tax dollars. The only freedom of religion they support is their own.
My initial reaction is to go with keeping the church banners and allowing Chaz to add his.
But it does make me wonder how to be appropriately selective. How about a banner from The Pink Pussy Gentleman's Club? Or a recruitment banner from the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan?
In a similar vein, I wonder what the legal response would be if it were discovered that the schools were allowing ads from Italian restaurants but not from Mexican restaurants?
Since it's a school's fence and the main viewers will be minors, the school could probably make a good legal case for limiting advertising only to services generally available to minors. So no booze, vapes, strip clubs, rated R movies, prescription drugs, etc.
So there are ways to deal with that, but those ways don't really impact the "religious advertising, or no religious advertising" question.
I don't like this "not a real religion" excuse. Who decides what is and isn't a religion? We see the definition through Christianity colored glasses and leave out legitimate faiths in the process. OTOH if we don't have a legal definition of religion, what's to stop someone from harming others and saying it's part of their faith?
I'm a bit horrified at the one banner advertising one of the most toxic flavors of christianity, the Pentecostals. The thought of school kids, especially girls, being exposed to that... brrrr!
It is so sad that this Dominionist game continues. Christianity is being forced on us as the de facto religion of the land. I don't believe in anything supernatural (except for the evil spirits which keep hiding my reading glasses), but I do not want to see religious advertising at public schools touting this christian god or that one. If they want to advertise at a school let them start their own private one.
> "...(except for the evil spirits which keep hiding my reading glasses)"
I have pretty much overcome that demon by having 20 pair of glasses scattered around the house and car. They do somehow seem to accumulate on my night stand so that I have to redistribute them but there's usually at least one pair in whichever room I'm in. My worse problem is the invisible something that inhabits my kitchen trash can. No matter how directly over the can I drop something, it gets batted away and lands on the floor. If curses actually worked, that little imp would be writhing in pain.
I have one like that too. But I think it travels with me. Knocking things out of my hands or bumping me when I try to do something precise (mousing on the computer or picking seams or writing things like that) and keeping me from hitting the trash no matter how close.
I quite like the idea of local businesses pitching funds in to local schools in exchange for reasonable advertising. IMO there is no reason to ban everything here. The 'no ideologies' policy is fine. Heck the 'everyone welcome' policy is fine, they just have to let Chaz and others use it too.
Chaz comes up with some pretty inventive stuff, and I appreciate his efforts. The one criticism I would have in this case is that the sign he submitted has no value other than trolling. How about some 'proudly supports the students of XXX High School" or "congratulations to 'class of 25' messaging to go with the giant all-caps Satanists or Atheists? Or maybe a link to a useful site that the kids can visit to learn more about some positive cause (charity, freethought, whatever)? If you're going to pay for (approx) 20-30 square feet of advertising, demonstrate "when they go low, we go high" and throw some useful information or at least uplifting messaging on it.
Quite a good idea! Like the little league field here; they have advertising banners around the chain link fence surrounding the fields. Local stuff. This guy will fix your car. We do lawns. Appliance repair while u wait.
No church stuff, just useful local businesses. How do I know?
Ooh! Fun combo idea: Chaz pays for the space, and gives part of it to a local business. So left side reads "Satanists are proud to sponsor this ad space. Congratulations to the class of ..." while the right side reads "Bob will fix your car". Bob gets a benefit. The school gets the locally-based ad. Chaz gets recognized as helping out the local community.
Well, the local fundies would still pitch a fit. But yeah, a good example of 'we go high.'
On the issue of "trolling," it's not up to a governmental organisation to determine what is a religious view and what isn't.
The Satanic Temple, Jedis, Flying Spaghetti Monster, all could be called "trolling." The trolling is the point: To remind the government it is not allowed to pick winners and losers amongst religions.
Honestly you could make it as mainstream and vanilla as every other "Bob will mow your lawn for $10" ad, and if it just has the word "Satanism" on it, it would probably cause the administrators to make the same decision (i.e. we'll eliminate everything before accepting that). But what such a vanilla ad does do, is make them look more ridiculous and embarrassed for rejecting it. And it cuts the legs off of any content defense they might claim.
But now I can't get the idea out of my head of you partnering with an auto shop so you can put "You got caught with a flat, well, how 'bout that....I'll get you a satanic mechanic" on a giant school advertising sign.
Why do they allow the Christian banners (and only the Christian banners) to go up until they are reminded that Christianity is indeed a religion? Christian Fucking Privilege. They believe so strongly that Christianity is the default that they (conveniently) forget that it also counts as a religion along with Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. They are the kind of people that think the Establishment Clause only prohibits Congress from declaring one particular denomination the official Church of the United States.
What bothers me more is the district administration infantilizing the public. Deciding before it ever goes up that people will have a hissy fit about Chaz' banner. Maybe it goes up and nobody cares, and then you don't have to do anything at all except keep putting advertising money in the school's coffers.
Infantilizing the public (those the ones in power see as less than) is a feature of their ideology. The infantilization begins with the very first stories in their book.
[sigh] Tried to comment on this a few hours back, but my phone didn't want to cooperate.
Once again, we have a case of "freedom of religion" meaning "freedom of CHRISTIAN religion" and everyone else can go fish. As for Chaz Stevens, I think he would have been better served if he had associated himself with an established and recognized organization, such as The Satanic Temple, rather than trying to rely on "Satanology." Regardless, Christian privilege remains well ensconced in American government, and the advent of Trump doesn't help matters.
I believe it's an indirect reference to the British comedian. Greaves has an odd looking right eye. It is variously reported on the interwebs as (a) an injury, (b) a prosthetic, (c) a costume contact lens. I don't know if Greaves has repaired any dishwashers but I get the impression that he and Chaz don't see eye-to-eye. 🧐
Hey my Mormon friends, pay attention, evangelicalism claiming that Satanism is not a religion, is only a step away from saying Mormonism is not a religion. It’s like Mormons have lost all their history books.
Mormons mock other Christians in their temple ceremonies… I don’t think they all think the others are true Christians. Of course what’s important is who’s in power, that’s what Mormon seem to be forgetting.
I've personally heard fundamentalist pastors preaching that other churches were leading people away from Christ. You can pretty much count on them to badmouth any church but their own denomination.
REAL religions have a man in the sky who listens to and sees every action of his feeble human subjects and decides both their fate and their punishments for acts and thoughts that don't please him, or whenever it suits him, or on a whim. Said god is omniscient, omnipotent and ubiquitous. This is what a TRUE religion is, and it should not be mocked or blasphemied.
The real tragedy is that the schools are so underfunded that they need to sell ad space. Fucking capitalism.
Why are the public schools so underfunded? Because the wealthy need the exploited class to remain ignorant and compliant.
Yeah, us proles...
Norwegian here. Proles is short for proletarians, right?
According to "1984," Proles are the lowest social class in society and they have less power than either the Outer or Inner Parties. They do all the manual labor, live in the worst conditions and receive almost no education. They're kept distracted by booze and entertainment in unlimited supply.

Proles is from Orwell's book, 1984.
But..But.. The DOEd is the problem with schools, not a lack of funding. It's oversight that is ruining education. /s
Broward schools yearly budget is in the billions. My property taxes contribute nearly $5K a year to education.
$1200 in revenue is meaningless, the issue is not about funding.
Then the best choice is to drop the ads. I don’t appreciate that many people see schools as places for profits. That makes the children the products and their grades/acheivements/success motivation to fund or defund the facility. But children’s ability in school can’t be quantified and should never be monetized. Back to fucking capitalism. The system already does this, or did with the NCLB act when I was studying to teach.

Thank you for all you are doing on behalf of us who see through the guise of religion!
It's all "Doctor" Jill Biden's fault. Don't ask how, just accept my statement as factual because I saw it on the interwebz.

So typical of these spoiled, whiny babies.

Just food for thought.

I like that analogy. Italian only, no Mexican restaurants!
Because tacos > spaghetti any day.
Cheaper anyway, unless you want chicken tacos.
I don't like this "not a real religion" excuse. Who decides what is and isn't a religion? We see the definition through Christianity colored glasses and leave out legitimate faiths in the process. OTOH if we don't have a legal definition of religion, what's to stop someone from harming others and saying it's part of their faith?
I thought "harming others and saying it's part of their faith" was the definition of religion.
I'm a bit horrified at the one banner advertising one of the most toxic flavors of christianity, the Pentecostals. The thought of school kids, especially girls, being exposed to that... brrrr!

Why are these churches advertising? Is it because of ... declining membership?

Love the "when they go low, we go high" policy. Kudos to Michelle and Barack!
That was the dumbest policy in ages. Kerry tried that, the swiftboating stuck to him bigly.
And Trump is going to be POTUS again in large part due to that nonsense.
When they go low the only correct response is to kick them in the teeth.
I say Balls, but I get the idea.
On the issue of "trolling," it's not up to a governmental organisation to determine what is a religious view and what isn't.
The Satanic Temple, Jedis, Flying Spaghetti Monster, all could be called "trolling." The trolling is the point: To remind the government it is not allowed to pick winners and losers amongst religions.
I'm more like Fetterman .. say FetterLite. Also, we tested "Satan Loves The First Amendment" and that was rejected.
I'm not surprised.
Honestly you could make it as mainstream and vanilla as every other "Bob will mow your lawn for $10" ad, and if it just has the word "Satanism" on it, it would probably cause the administrators to make the same decision (i.e. we'll eliminate everything before accepting that).

To paraphrase, I was told "Satan is the hill they'd die on." Under no uncertain terms would my sign be displayed.
Silly of them.

That’s why they’re trying so hard to push their indoctrination centers to the younger folks.

And it's always the dumb ones, who don't know any world history.
They plan to. Fundamentalist Protestants don't think Catholics are Christians, either.

IOW, god is a capricious psychopath unworthy of worship and has a lot to answer for.
As I've said before: Any being deity or mortal (I'm looking at you Donnie) that desires worship is not worthy of it.
They do make HIM in their own image, after all.
